CKP hierarchy and free Bosons

Abstract

In this paper, free Bosons are used to study some integrable properties of the CKP hierarchy, from the aspects of tau functions. Firstly, the modified CKP hierarchy is constructed by using free Bosons and the corresponding Lax structure is given. Then the constrained CKP hierarchy is found to be related with the modified CKP hierarchy, and the corresponding solutions are derived by using free Bosons. Next by using the relations between the Darboux transformations and the squared eigenfunction symmetries, we express the Darboux transformations of the CKP hierarchy in terms of free Bosons, by which one can better understand the essential of the CKP Darboux transformations. In particular, the additional symmetries of the CKP hierarchy can be viewed as the infinitesimal generator of the CKP Darboux transformations. Based upon these results, we finally obtain the actions of the CKP additional symmetries on the CKP tau functions constructed by free Bosons.
